JSI Tip 9294. How can I copy files that match a mask?

I have scripted CopyBackup.bat to copy files that match a mask to a folder.

The syntax for using CopyBackup.bat is:

CopyBackup BkpFolder Mask Drive1 [Drive2 Drive3 ... DriveN]Where:

BkpFolder is the full path to the destination folder.Mask      is the file mask, like JSI*.txt to copy all text files that start with JSI,                              or *string*.* to copy all files that have string in their name,                              or ??ABC*.txt to copy all text files that have ABC in the 3-5 position of their name.DriveX    is the source drive or folder or share to fully search.

NOTE: If a file named filename.ext was copied from D:Folder1Folder2, it will be named D_Folder1_Folder2_filename.ext. If you don't want this full identification, remove the !src!_ from the copy statement.

CopyBackup.bat contains:
